Estimating employment from energy-efficiency investments	2020-06-08		.txt	text/plain	3173	178	48	• The first two steps involve estimating the magnitude of investments in energy-efficient technologies and systems required to produce a unit of energy consumption reduction, and then identifying how these investments are expensed across the broad investment categories, which creates the preliminary "bills of goods" for investments in energy efficiency in homes, businesses, and industry. • In the final step we apply the input-output coefficients representing the bills of goods to estimate the direct, indirect and induced employment per million dollars of investment in energy efficiency. The authors summarize the prevailing studies as following one of two approaches -bottom-up where surveys and interviews are used to generate the number of jobs in the sector, and top-down approaches where economic modeling (such as computable general equilibrium, input-output, econometric models) is used to estimate the macroeconomic effect of investments in clean energy. To estimate the employment impact of investments in energy efficiency, we develop an approach that applies employment coefficients from the IMPLAN input-output model to results from the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) ( Fig. 1 ).	./cache/cord-291179-p2ro0zdj.txt	./txt/cord-291179-p2ro0zdj.txt
